Bangkok & Phi Phi Island

Your adventure begins in Bangkok, Thailand’s bustling capital. Known as the “City of Angels,” Bangkok is a place where shimmering temples stand beside modern skyscrapers, and traditional floating markets blend with rooftop dining. Staying at The Salil Hotel Sukhumvit 57-Thonglor, you’ll be perfectly placed to explore both day and night. Take a boat along the Chao Phraya River, visit the Grand Palace and Wat Arun, or lose yourself in the sensory delights of night bazaars and street food stalls. After a busy day, return to the hotel’s contemporary comfort, with stylish rooms and a welcoming atmosphere.

After three nights of cultural immersion, you’ll take a smooth transfer to Phi Phi Island, one of Thailand’s most famous tropical gems. Here, at the Phi Phi Holiday Resort, days can be as relaxing or adventurous as you wish. Wake up to the sound of gentle waves, spend your mornings snorkelling among colourful marine life, or venture out on a boat trip to discover hidden lagoons and limestone cliffs. In the evenings, watch the sun set across the Andaman Sea before enjoying fresh seafood and Thai specialities.

This two-part holiday has been designed to give you the perfect mix: the energy and discovery of Bangkok, followed by the peace and beauty of island life. With everything arranged — from flights and transfers to well-chosen hotels — you can enjoy the journey without worry, knowing that each detail has been taken care of.

Thailand is a destination that welcomes travellers all year round, but the experience can feel very different depending on the season. The country has three main weather patterns: the cool season, the hot season, and the rainy season. Each has its own charm, so the best time to travel really depends on the kind of holiday you’re looking for.

The most popular time to visit is during the cool season, from November to February. Days are warm but not overly hot, making it perfect for sightseeing in Bangkok and relaxing on the beaches of Phi Phi Island. This is the ideal period for outdoor activities such as exploring temples, enjoying street food tours, and spending long afternoons by the sea. The November departure dates of this package fall right at the start of this comfortable season, offering pleasant weather and clear skies.

From March to May, the hot season brings higher temperatures, often reaching into the mid-thirties. This is a good time for those who enjoy guaranteed sunshine and long beach days, though sightseeing in Bangkok can feel intense under the heat. Between June and October, Thailand enters its rainy season. Showers are usually short and refreshing rather than lasting all day, and prices tend to be lower, making this an option for those seeking better value and fewer crowds.

In short, while Thailand offers something special throughout the year, November departures give you the best balance of sunshine, comfort, and atmosphere, making it one of the finest times for a twin-centre adventure.
